THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

mmm. Good morning, darling. Hello. Did you sleep well? Oh, you know, you would think the adrenaline rush would have completely kept me awake, but it didn’T. I slept like a baby. How about you? I slept enough.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Gasps ] Oh, sonny. Hi. Good to see you. Ohh. Hell of a night, right? Yeah. Hey, mom, um — I-I told you I was just with some friends, and it got late, but they walked me back to my room. Yes, I’m being careful. I promise. I won’t be alone. Um, I’d like to speak with the manager. You’re supposed to be serving, not surfing. Well, i am the manager. And I’m sorry. I’ve just been trying to reach joss all morning. Are you worried? I mean, kinda. She hasn’t responded to my texts. Have you seen her on campus? Well, today’s my late class. I mean, I’m sure she’s fine. Want me to try her? No. No. It’s okay. I’m probably overreacting. Just a little on edge with all the attacks that have been going on. We all are. Especially given the latest news. Yeah. So you heard esme’s back in town? Not until now. I have been waiting for months to be able to do this. Ohh. And I can’t believe you let me get away with it.

[ Chuckles ] Well, you are the mayor. You look thin, spencer. It’s probably the ill-fitting clothes. Are you doing okay in here? Yeah. Things could be worse. I’m being looked after. That’s good. Who’s doing the “looking after”? Hey,

spinelli. It’s austin.I wonder if maybe you could give me a call and let me know that you’re gonna do the favor that I asked you to do for me. That’d be great. Damn it!

[ Coins jingling ] Hey. I got it. L-let me get it for you. I got it. Oh, that’ll teach me to polish off a bottle of beaujolais on a school night. Right. Well, you know, the french government doesn’t release the new beaujolais till, like, the third week in november, so technically, it was probably an old beaujolais, but, you know… what can I get you? Club soda.

[ Can rattles ] Thanks. I didn’t know you were a wine aficionado. I’m not at all. I dated a girl in college who wouldn’t shut up about wine.

[ Coughing ] Hm.

[ Coughing ] Don’t worry. I’m — I’m okay. Could’ve fooled me. I need to see you right away. I’m in my office. Who are you? Sorry, commissioner. I tried to stop him. Agent whitten, with the U.S. Marshals service. Thank you, officer clark. Shut my door, please.

[ Door closes ] I’m here to talk to you about — let’s get something straight. I don’t give a damn if you’re a marshal, cia, or one of the avengers. You don’t barge into my office like that! You got it? Now, what do you want? Everything you have on the anna devane case. I’m assuming control of this investigation.

Where is esme? Do the cops know? The cops do know. My mom spotted her at the pier. When she was trying to dial 911, esme tried to grab her phone, my mom fell, and she hit her head. Oh, my god. Is your mom alright? Yes, thankfully. But esme got away, and we don’t really know where she is. She’s still out there. Esme’s graduating from torching cars and making revenge porn to trying to kill that bartender. She’s seriously unhinged! We have no idea what she’s capable of. Joss told you commissioner ashford’s theory? About the hook targeting people close to you and related to the trial? Yes. But esme as the maniac? I can’t wrap my head around it. Just please watch your back. Yeah. You too. Does spencer know? We didn’t tell spencer because we didn’t know that esme was back in town. We also didn’t know about the hook’s connection to you. And you were busy telling him other things? Your name did come up. Joss told me, especially how spencer’s feelings were hurt after I found out that he believed in me all along. And… I never acknowledged it to him. Why didn’t you? I tried to see him before he was taken to pentonville, but by the time I reached the pcpd, he was gone. Trina, you know where to find spencer. What’s holding you back? So I guess it’s your uncle victor who’s pulling the strings? I’ve had support from all of my uncles, each…useful in their own way. Yeah, well, sonny is usually great. Uncle martin tried like hell to get my sentence reduced. Yes, I know. He told me about that. He said you refused to give the name of the accomplice who helped you to get an unauthorized pass from spring ridge. You disapprove? Spencer, I really understand you wanting to visit your mother’s grave, and I guess you have taken full responsibility and accepted the consequences, but whoever helped you should also face some consequences because what they did was wrong, too. It seems unfair to penalize others for my decision. How’s great-grandmother lesley doing? She is recovering. She’s doing well, actually. But, spencer, it was so sad. They lost everything. And bit by bit, their new place on lake como is starting to feel like home. I’m glad. It’s good that you’re back. It’s nice to see you. You too. You shouldn’t have come here, though. To my knowledge, anna devane has not crossed state lines, which puts this case under the jurisdiction of the pcpd. Not any longer. The mayor’s office called me in. Mayor collins called you? No. Mayor collins is out of the country. The deputy mayor, eileen ashby, contacted my office. Really? On what grounds? The deputy mayor feels state and local resources are stretched too thin. What law-enforcement department isn’t? I’m sorry you’ve wasted your time, but I have this under control. Not from what I can see. A failed prisoner transfer, the second in less than a year, and now you have a potential serial killer on the loose. It appears your resources are severely overtaxed. I’ll need documentation confirming your jurisdiction. I’m not here to step on your toes, commissioner ashford. I’m here to help. My understanding is that in addition to being a wsb agent, the fugitive was also once police commissioner? Your understanding is correct. Look at it this way. Relinquishing control of this investigation avoids any appearance of impropriety for both you… and your department. Sonny: What happened out there? Didn’t dex tell you? No. Heather webber happened. She got added to the transport at the last minute, and dex tried to change the route so that we would go to d’archam first, drop her, and then on to pentonville. But I guess the guard got suspicious, and there was a struggle in the front. And lost control of the vehicle. We crashed, and then… I kind of don’t remember. I hear the guard is still alive, so he can give us a description. Okay. Where would dex go if he wanted to keep a low profile? I don’t know, because he doesn’t have many connections. And without me, dex… could be anywhere.

[ Grunts ] Hey, hey. Easy, easy, easy. Let me help. Let me help. Am I in your dorm room? Good guess. How? You popped a stitch. I found you not too far from the house. You weren’t completely unconscious, so I was able to get you in my car. But I couldn’t take you to a hospital, so… I brought you back here. That was risky. Not really. You looked like a drunk frat guy. I can’t believe you did all of this for me. Neither can I.

Sit. Gimme. Thank you. Have you forgotten who’s the chief of staff? I give the orders. It was nothing. I-I swallowed too fast. Put your hand out like this. Chief of staff, don’t be a difficult patient. Put your hand out. We’re just gonna run some tests. No need. You’re exhibiting chorea in at least one of your hands. It’s too much caffeine. And what about the dysphagia? Britt, come on. A first-year med student could see it’s hard for you to swallow. How long has that been going on? Okay. Probably nothing. Right? So we’ll just run a scan. Don’T. Britt, I don’t need to tell you that the symptoms you’re exhibiting might be indicative of a larger neurological or muscular disorder, so we need to run some tests to make sure… I don’t — I don’t — …that it’s not one of those big things. I don’t need a test because I know what’s going on. I have huntington’s disease. Everybody at G.H. Is being questioned. What about heather? Apprehended. Oh, good. Where did they find her? Kelly’s, of all places.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Voicemail. It didn’t even ring. We’re pretty remote. There’s no reception here. Excuse me. Ohh. I feel terrible about dex. That kid out there hiding. You know? I just wanted this whole thing to be a clean operation. Extractions can get complicated. Sonny’s guy knew the risks going in. Yeah, but now he’s paying the price, because of me. Because of victor. Victor made you take the fall for what he did to lucy. Dear old dad. Alright. Jordan wants to talk to me at the precinct. Oh, she suspects you helped me. Could be. But you know what? She can’t prove it. So, uh, this will be the last time we can have any kind of contact. You take care of yourself, alright? Hey, sonny. Thank you. Prove your innocence.

[ Door closes ] You’re wasting your time here. There’s too much happening in port charles right now. Spencer, it is never a waste of my time to see you. Nothing is more important to me. I have some news for you. Apparently, esme has been spotted again in port charles. Has she been arrested? No, but the authorities are looking out. I hope that they deploy dogs. Spencer! Look, you have every right to feel betrayed. But holding onto all of this rage a-and resentment, ultimately, this is only gonna hurt you. So this isn’t just about esme, is it? Okay, your dad did tell me that there had been another rift between the two of you. It’s not gonna be that much longer that you’ll be in here. Okay? Do you think maybe we can all try to work this out together? Maybe sundays at my house? Obviously, my father didn’t tell you why we’re estranged. No, he didn’T. But you can. What happened, spencer? Ask your son. Or, when they find her, you can ask esme. Um, I-I was able to use my keycard to nab some first-aid supplies from the gym, and most of our locker room had everything I needed to clean and re-bandage the wound… the one that you’re determined not to discuss. But there — there are two beds in here. Do you have a roommate? That’s taken care of. Who else has a key? How many people on this floor? Nobody’s gonna come in here. You’re fine. I can’t stay here.

[ Grunts ] Hey. Don’t get up right now. D–

[ Grunts ] Ohh.

In bed. If you insist. Okay. God. You’re heavier than you look. All muscle. Yeah. Alright. Well, there’s no blood, so that’s good. You could have popped another stitch pulling that stunt. I hope that all of this is worth it. What? Working for sonny. How much is he paying you to get shot for him? I don’t see him risking his life. No comment. You need food and hydration. If I go to get some stuff from the dining hall, do you promise to be good and stay put? I-I don’t want you involved in this, joss.

[ Scoffs ] It’s too late. Besides, you have nowhere else to go. Yes, I do. Grab me my phone, and I’ll make arrangements. Yeah. You didn’t have a phone. Oh, damn. Um… can I borrow yours? Not if you’re gonna use it to call sonny. Any leads on the individual that commandeered the van? Nothing found at the scene. Security footage from the general hospital parking garage turn up anything? Our mystery man was shy with the cameras. One of my officers did make contact during transfer. I’ll need to talk to that officer. He was focused on the transfer. Never even saw the driver’s face. Should he remember any details, I’ll have him meet with our sketch artist to have a composite drawn. Jar that memory. An I.D. On that driver will lead us to who aided anna devane’s escape.

[ Knock on door ] Come in. Mr. Corinthos. You just saved me a trip. Last time I talked to spencer, I told him I didn’t want to be friends. I’m not sure I can take that back. Not sure if I want to. I guess that’s up to you. If you’ve moved on, more power to you. I think ultimately spencer just wants you to be happy. Even if that’s with rory. Same goes for me, too, trina. Thanks. Rory is a great guy. Yeah, you guys seem to be very at ease with one another, like me and joss. Yeah, you and joss have gone through a lot these past few months, and y’all are still together.

[ Chuckles ] I think it’s our friendship that keeps us grounded. You know, it’s because of that bond, it’s far easier to find our way back to one another. Rory and I are friends, too. He’s so supportive. I’m glad. You know, maybe it was for the best that spencer never gave you that letter. Laura: Ask esme? What does she have to do with the rift between you and your dad? It’s not for me to say.

[ Door opens ] Sorry, mayor collins. Time’s up. It was really great to see you, grandmother. Is there anything else you need? You came to see me. I couldn’t ask for anything more. Before you left, I made you a promise, and, uh, I’m really sorry if I let you down. You didn’t let me down. What you’ve done for trina is the epitome of protecting the people you love. I couldn’t be more proud of you. Thank you. I’ll see you soon. Okay? Okay.

[ Door closes ]

[ Groans ] Before you go there, there’s someone else who’d like to talk with you. Who? Your big brother. Hello, laura.

Alright. Look. I can’t stop you from asking sonny for help. But you’re not gonna do it from my phone. Are we still doing this? I get that you hate the guy. Okay? Dex, I will never shake the sight of you hanging from a meat hook. Your face all bruised, shivering with cold. All of these knives laid out in front of you. And this is the man that you want to go to for help? I’m sorry. A-am I supposed to be grateful while he acts all concerned and protective? No. I can’t stay here forever. Okay? My options are limited. You can send him an e-mail. But y-you can’t do it from my account. Not exactly the most expedient form of communication. Just give it to me, please. Alright. I’m gonna go grab the stuff. Will you stay here and be good? I’ll be back soon. Are you talking about the letter spencer almost gave me at the party?

[ Cellphone rings ] Joss. Everything okay? Uh, yeah, totally fine. Really? You sound weird. Well, I-I don’t want to freak you out, um, but are you planning on swinging by the room today? Um, I’m not sure. What’s up? Apparently, they’re spraying for bedbugs. Oh, gross! Cameron: What? They’re spraying our room for bedbugs. Ohh. Are you with cam? Yeah. You wanna talk to him? He’s been trying to get ahold of you. No! No, that’s okay. Just tell him I’ll call him back later. I have to clear some stuff from the room so that they can spray. Oh. Do you — do you need some help? No, no. I’ve got it covered. Okay. Keep me posted. Did she not want to talk with me? Sounded like she had a lot going on. We have bedbugs? Uh — [ Laughs ] Uh, it’s just a rumor. So check your mattress. I wouldn’t know the signs. Can you show me what to look for? It’s good to see you, laura. Please, sit with me. I’m afraid I can’t stay. I’m still the mayor. I have some important things to attend to. No thanks to you and those “friends of port charles.” Ah, you’re still angry about the recall effort, but I have no desire to hurt you, laura, despite your belief to the contrary. Actually, I do know now that it was not you who was behind the attempt on martin and my life at the safe house last year. Good. I told you. You did, and you’ll forgive me if I don’t always take you at your word. I forgive you. Do you know who was behind the attack? If I told you, what would you do? Just send a message. Ahh. So much for that conversion of yours. Safeguarding my family is in line with biblical principles. It is so good to see you. Y-you’re really looking well. You know, I don’t know how to say this without sounding mean, but I didn’t come here to talk to you. Oh, yeah, I know, but maybe that can change. Maybe both you and martin could visit me together. I’d love to see my brother. How — how is he? You should ask him. Yeah, I’d like to, but for now, you’re here and he’s not. H-has something happened? You’re afraid I’ll use personal information to hurt martin. You have to believe me, laura. I am doing everything I can to make things right with my family, starting with my great-nephew spencer. If deputy mayor ashby is on victor’s payroll, who knows who else could be? Yeah, but I need definitive proof to tie that to victor, you know? Well, maybe it’s time we stop focusing on victor’s guilt and more on proving your innocence. “We”? Of course. You have to go. In due time. Now. Today. If we get caught… you go to prison, too. You think I don’t know that? You’re a survivor, anna devane. But how are you gonna hide out here and conduct an investigation by yourself? Carefully. You have to go. Do you have any idea how much you mean to me? My father had huntington’S. When I found out, I chose not to get tested. Couple years ago, I started having hand tremors. Turned out it was just repetitive motion disorder. But I realized it wasn’t doing me any good to hide. The fear that I might have huntington’s was ruining my life. So I talked it through with someone I respected, and I decided I needed to know, one way or the other. And now I know. I’m really sorry. There’s no wrist brace to stave off this disease. I live every day knowing symptoms will present at any time. So let me ask you — what kind of timeline does your treating physician give you? I don’t have one. You’re joking! Doctor, you need a doctor. You do? Look, I’m no expert. But from what I can remember about this horrible disease, you’re in the early stages, and there are protocols that could help you manage your symptoms. I know my disease progresses in stages. I know I may be able to carry on with activities for years. Meds that can aid with symptoms without assistance, yada, yada! It’s not “yada, yada.”

[ Scoffs ] All of those things should comfort you. Come on. Let’s cut the crap and be real, austin. There is a bomb in my brain, and the countdown has begun. I’m surprised to see sonny corinthos easily saunter into the police commissioner’s office. At least he knocked. I’d requested his presence right before you barged in. You seem to know me, but I don’t — I don’t know you. Agent whitten with the U.S. Marshals service. Should I have my lawyer present? Nah. This is just a friendly conversation. No such thing, from the feds. I’ve been going through anna devane’s file. It appears the two of you go way back. Yeah. So what? Ms. Devane’s a high-value fugitive. Our government is anxious to sit down with her. You’re hoping to make a deal? Maybe trade in classified information. You’d be making a friend in the attorney general’s office if you could help us get in a room with her. I don’t need a friend. And if you think you’re gonna coerce anna into giving state secrets, you don’t know her at all. But you do. Well… just let your friend know we can offer her safe haven.

If you’re in contact with her. I’m not. That’s a shame. My bosses say if we can’t bring her in, we have to bring her down.

have copies of any filesince words, agent whitten, no need to get combative. I don’t see the need to waste time or mince words, commissioner. Anna devane is no danger to the public at large. We don’t know that. I’ll take this with me. Have copies of any files related to this case uploaded to my office this afternoon. In case there’s anything I need to know. Be seeing you. I didn’t know he’d be here when I called you. I gathered. Ambushes aren’t your style. That wasn’t a bluff, was it? You mean when he said he would take down anna if they couldn’t bring her in? I think he meant every damn word. Best thing that you can do for both of us is leave. Because I would really feel devastated if something were to happen to you. Why don’t I just stick around a few more days? And if victor realizes that we’re both missing? I’m sure he knows by now. And I’m sure he suspects I was part of your escape. And what if he takes advantage of your absence and seizes charlotte again? She’s safe with laura. You just got her back! You were in hell without her. You need to be there for her. You have to keep her safe. I’m a big girl. I can manage. Okay. Okay. This ring… has a lot of complicated feelings for me. The cassadine ring. Sure. Every time I try to get rid of it, it finds its way back to me. Will you hold onto it? Till we’re together again? I’m obligated to cover all the bases with my patients, but I reserve the right to not waste my own precious time. Maybe I’ll just get my affairs in order instead. Okay. I mean, I — I think the way it goes is, is that there’s horses and then cart. Okay, I’ve really had my fill with horse idioms. Oh, right. How’s cody? Does he know? Only my mother and scott. I haven’t told anyone else who matters. Ah! [ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] I’m just kidding. No, seriously. I am joking. You don’t have to manage my feelings. Oh. The irony. For the first time in a long time, things started to go well. I’m really sorry. I don’t see it as the end of the line for you. I think that’s something you would say to a patient. No, I-I know you’re not my patient, doctor. I know you’re a physician. I’m a physician. And so we know that there are advancements in medicine every day. And we caught this early, so maybe we can take advantage of one of them. And, you know, for what it’s worth, if I had to wager between you and huntington’s, I’m all-in on you. Just google bedbugs. You know? I think they’re, like, tiny dark spots in your sheets and your pillowcases. Don’t you have to throw everything out? I think that’s just preventative. Don’t worry. I’ll check anyway. And, joss… look. Um… I’m really glad that trina’s back at pcu and that you all can move on from what happened. I appreciate that, adam. You deserve a drama-free year. That’s not gonna happen. Uh, before joss called, you were saying something about spencer’s letter. Do you know what he wrote? He said that he just confessed everything, why he did what he did. Not that it matters now, though, right? What’s done is done. Um, I have to get back to work in the kitchen. Just promise me you’ll stay vigilant? We all have to watch our backs now that esme’s around. Yeah. 100%. Oh, and one more thing. Was spencer confessing about playing esme? Or something else? For that, you’ll have to ask him yourself. Why are you bringing up spencer? We’ve become acquainted here. I see great things in him, a lot of your energy, laura. No, no, you — you stay away from spencer, cyrus. I have been protecting him! Don’t your raise your voice to me! Protect him?! You sit down! Ever since he became a ward of the state! In case you didn’t notice, it’s a little dangerous here! Sit down.

[ Laughs ] Ask spencer. Ask spencer what, exactly? Well, when you saw him, did he seem okay to you? Yes, he did. And I’m gonna make sure he stays that way. I’m afraid I-I can’t promise the same thing for your friend anna devane. What? If she’s captured, perhaps as mayor, you can pull some strings to make sure she never comes to pentonville. Why? Why? What do you know, cyrus? Does the name olivia jerome mean anything to you?

Do you know about this?Has olivia said something? Only that she can’t wait to roll out the pentonville red carpet for anna devane. Look, I-I know you still don’t trust me, sister, but trust this — if anna’s on the run, it’s best she stays that way. Sonny, if you know where anna is, let me bring her in. It’s safer that way. You really think she’d be safer in pentonville, within victor’s reach? He’s the one who set her up. No, you know, she’s lucky she has friends, us included. Yes, she’s a dear friend. But I can’t break the law outright for her. I get it. But you know what? You can’t turn her over to that hot-shot agent, either. Oh, hell no. He only wants to impress his bosses. We can’t let that happen at the expense of anna. Okay, so… we’re on the same page here. Anna is safer on her own. We find the person most likely to know about anna devane’s escape. Then we lean on him until he breaks. When you’re back in port charles, you’ll be able to keep an eye on your father. If you leave here, how will I find you? I’ll find you. You be careful. You be careful.

Je t’aime.

A bientT.

[ Door closes ] Britt: Here’s a positive. I can blame my “britchiness” on huntington’S. Hey, there we go! There’s the indomitable spirit that everybody around here respects so much.

[ Scoffs ] Did you miss the part where I said “britch” in “britchiness”? Have you not noticed? I am not miss popularity. People around here, I — I don’t think they see you, well, the way they used to see you. How would you know that? ‘Cause I work here. And you know how it goes. Doctors and nu– we all talk. And you are respected. You are. For your deep, deep compassion, even though you do everything you can to try and convince everybody you don’t have any. Got a lot in your life… don’t you? You’ve got — you’ve got brad. Got your mom. You got maxie and her kids. Mm-hmm. Yeah, thank god james and bailey don’t have the marker. Right? Really. But if they did, you would be there to support them, right? Of course. So maybe let everybody support you now. There’s nothing you can’t share with someone that you love.

[ Knock on door ] Kiley: Josslyn?! It’s kiley, your ra! Are you in there?! I need to talk to you! It’s important!

[ Rattling ] Hey, um, I thought that my time with my grandmother was up.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

This place looks great. Huh? Yeah. Oh, wow. Look at… oh. That’s a beautiful photo of brando. Yeah, planning the post-funeral reception is the least I can do for sasha. Thank you. Yeah. Okay. I see the way you’re looking at your dad. Just keep telling yourself that this day is about brando and for us to help out sasha and gladys any way we can. Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. Come on. Thanks for letting me ride with you guys. Austin’s at the hospital, and I didn’t want to be alone. Yeah, of course. I knew the garden would be the perfect place for the reception. We got a perfect autumn morning. Right? How you doing? I’m okay. Thank you for coming. Yeah, we wouldn’t be any place else. Come here. The funeral was very touching. Whatever you and gladys need, we are all here for you. Okay? Thank you.

[ Chuckles softly ] Wow. Everything looks beautiful, nina. Thank you. Of course, brando would be the first person to say that you shouldn’t have gone to so much fuss. Can just hear him.

[ Knock on door ] Joss. What are you doing here? I-I could ask you the same thing.

[ Knock on door ] Jordan: Come in. Hey. I got your message. It sounded important. It is. Oh, was there a break in whoever attacked diane and ava and killed brando corbin? I was just at brando’s funeral. And other than diane telling us the attacker was a woman, we don’t have very much. But that’s not why I asked you to come by. Read what’s inside this envelope. Your future depends on it. I have a very busy day ahead. I have to figure out what I’m gonna be doing now that I’m — I’m closing the gallery. So I’d really appreciate it if we could wrap this up. …The location… portia, I’m feeling really well. You know, my wound is — is — is almost healed now. So is there — is there something else wrong with me? On it.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you, amy. Portia? Wha–

[ Chuckles ]

[ Door closes ] After everything I’ve been through, whatever it is, I can take it. Counting our blessings, are we? I was just reviewing some documents. Hmm. I assume you’ll soon be adding another important document to that safe of yours — your finalized divorce decree. But, of course, you insisted on hiring your own lawyer. So I hope he’s filed all the paperwork correctly. I said I would handle it, didn’t it? Forgive me, but I’ve seen how you “handle” ava — signing a false confession to murdering esme. You know, that little mea culpa of yours could have sent you to prison for life if valentin hadn’t gotten it away from ava. Now, fortunately, your ridiculous romantic gesture won’t be coming back to haunt us. And neither will esme prince. May she rest in peace. Okay, guys. You can take him.

[ Police radio chatter ] Dead body of a john doe on pier 55. Apparent stab wound. No driver’s license or id. Hopefully we’ll know more once the M.E. Takes a look.

[ Static crackles, radio chatter ] Thanks.

I’m so grateful to you, nina, for all the trouble you’ve gone to. I-it’s no trouble at all. You thought of everything, right? Like brando’s favorite drink. Beer. Root beer.

[ Laughter ] That was always his favorite. Ever since he was a little boy. I, uh — I can’t watch this anymore. I’m gonna get a drink. Do you want anything? I’m good. Thanks. You, uh — you alright? No. No, I’m not. Hey, willow. Here’s a club soda. Drink up. Doctor’s orders.

[ Chuckles ] Sonny: Can we all just gather around? Uh, raise your glasses. I want to make a toast to — to brando. Brando was an incredible son. A kind and loving husband. He left us way too soon. He had a — he had a big laugh.

[ Chuckles ] But most importantly, he had a big heart. To brando. To never be forgotten.

[ Glasses and bottles clink ] Why aren’t you at the hospital? Then I couldn’t be here to let you in. Huh. You know what I mean. Look at yourself. You’re covered in bruises from what sonny did to you. Yeah, I’m a little sore. A little? Okay. I-I hurt everywhere. Especially my wrists. It could have been a lot worse if you hadn’t shown up. Never really got the chance to thank you for rescuing me, did I? Well, it looks like the divorce papers are all ready to go. There’s a receipt inside the envelope that proves I submitted them to the court. I want you to keep that. I don’t need a receipt. I take you at your word that they’ll be filed. Now we just need a court to sign off… and, um, we’ll officially be divorced. I’d feel better if you held onto the receipt. It’s something you can show portia since I botched things the first time around. Right. Jordan, this is what doesn’t make sense to me. You’re one of the most organized people I’ve ever known, so it just doesn’t add up that you would misplace the original papers. What can I say? Nobody’s perfect. I think I proved that during our marriage, right? Jordan, it takes two people to make a marriage and two people to mess it up. Now, let’s be honest — I think we both know that our marriage was over long before we signed those papers. Maybe for you. But not for me. Physically, you are recovering just fine. But as your doctor, it’s my job to treat the whole patient. And, ava, I want you to take care of yourself. To be honest, I-I’m — I’m a little bit worried about your well-being. Trina told me that you closed your gallery, and I know that that was far more than just a business to you. Well, actually, that — that’s your fiancé’s fault, really.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] How is that exactly? Uh, curtis came to see me, and he told me that he was worried about trina working in the gallery with some serial slasher roaming around. And — and he was right. As much as I hated that I won’t be working with trina for now, I… I have to do whatever I can to protect her from any future repeat attack, right? Yeah, and I think you did the right thing. I think you did the right thing for trina and for you. But I need you to know that working at your gallery was far more than just a job to trina. And I never got to thank you for arranging the fellowship at the chuck for her. Well, that — that was curtis’ idea, actually. I just made a couple of phone calls and gave trina a sterling recommendation, which she earned. Yeah, I just feel badly that — that trina seems to resent curtis for setting that in motion. She said she already has one protective father looking out for her. Right. Okay, well, if there isn’t anything else, I really have spent more than my fair share of time at G.H. Lately. Okay. There is just — just one more thing. I-I just want you to make sure that you are focusing on keeping yourself out of harm’s way, okay? A-and since the gallery is off limits, at least you know you’re gonna be safe at wyndemere, right? Esme is lying in the bottom of the harbor, courtesy of your wife. And no one need be any the wiser. Despite your ridiculous attempt to take the blame for the murder in order to woo ava. So you just proceed with this divorce as planned… and no more confessions in the name of love. Are we clear on that? Nikolas: “I, nikolas cassadine… of sound mind and body do hereby acknowledge and confess that I, and I alone, am responsible for the disappearance of esme prince. I know this because I killed her.” The means? My own two hands. Victor: Nikolas. You always were a poor judge of women and a — a fool for their charms. So I want you to tell me the truth. What else does ava got on you? Esme: Bad for you, oz. But good for me.

[ Sighs ] This won’t get me through today. Wyndemere… here I come.

I am no longer living at wyndemere. I’m happy that nina has offered me a place to stay, stay with her. I’m grateful for that. And plus there’s the added benefit of knowing that sonny’s looking out for nina, so… which means that he’ll be looking out for you. Yeah, well, you know, as avery’s mother, sonny does want to keep me safe. Well, good. You know, I’m glad that you have someplace — someplace to go, but, um… but what? Ava, you know I have no love for nikolas or his son spencer. But I do know that you’re still in love with your husband, even after everything that’s happened. And I just hope, for your sake, that you really finally leave nikolas and never look back. I gotta say, I’m surprised to hear you say that. But I’m with portia now. I know. All I’m saying is, is I never made it a secret about how I felt. I was ready to fight for our marriage if you had been. I couldn’T. By that point, there was too much damage — too much damage for me to even try again. Too many secrets. Too many lies. I’m a former cop. I know that some of the deception comes with the job. But not all of it. No. Not all of it. And you’re a man who values honesty above everything else in relationships. Look, I’m not trying to say I’m holier than thou, but in my book, if you can’t trust the person you love, then who can you trust? And you’ve found what you’re looking for in portia. Is that a question or a statement? I really, really do want you to be happy, curtis. I hope you know that. Then why do you make it sound like there’s a reason we won’t be? Is this your look for the day,or are you gonna button that?

[ Dex groaning ] Uh, just gonna grab a — grab a t-shirt. Hey. No. It’s — it’s fine. I’ll do it. The wrong button there, but… thanks. You can thank me by making sure sonny never does this to anybody again. Thank you. Nina. A word, please. Olivia. Please. Not today. For sasha’s sake, please. I ju– I just wanted to say this is really beautiful. The setup. It’s — it’s tasteful. It’s lovely. It’s really — it’s really well done. Thank you. Appreciate that. How are you feeling today? I am hanging in there. Good. Okay. Don’t look now, but nina is watching us as if we are stealing the silverware. What’s nina’s problem with us? She saw us hug the other day at the hospital, and now she has it in her head that we are having an affair. She what?! Yeah. Don’t let it get to you. I don’T. It seems nina judges everyone by her own shabby standards. Hey. Sonny: Hey. Look. I just want you to know that I-I’m still here for you. Okay? Whatever you need. You may regret that offer.

[ Chuckles ] No, no. Never. I keep trying to remind myself that brando’S… not alone. He’s got — he’s got mike. It’s just — it’s still really sad. Yeah, brando was too young to die. But, you know, I see sasha and how she’s handling this so well. I admire her courage. Makes me more determined than ever to find out who did this. Maxie: Sam? Yeah. Oh. Sorry. Um, can I borrow you for a second? Yeah, sure. I’ll be back. Hm. So, I, uh, hope your investigation leads to the actual perp. Unlike our father. What? What are you talking about — sonny? How you doing, gladys? I can’T. Can’t do it. I can’t be brave like sasha. You know what? It’s normal. Brando was your only child. That hu– nothing hurts like that. I can’t fill up my mind with other things and forget. I don’t think that’s what sasha’s doing. I think she’s, you know — she’s holding it together for brando’s sake, ’cause that’s what he would have wanted. I keep thinking about when I came to town to see mike… and I told everyone brando was dead. I couldn’t stand to admit that I was ashamed of him and his addiction. And then one day he showed up. I was given a second chance. My son and i had a chance to have the kind of life that our cousin sonny had. A picture-perfect marriage, beautiful, loving children. You had it all. Well, looks can be deceiving, you know? Time has proven that. Nothing in life is guaranteed.

Nt to let you knowI made a decision this morning. Best thing for me to do going forward is pack up and go back to bridgeport. Gladys. I’ve known you to be a lot of things over the years. A little greedy, a little selfish. But one thing I’ve never known you to be… is a coward. Hey. Thank you both for coming. Of course. Molly had to get back to the courthouse, but she wanted me to pass on her condolences. Oh. Tell her I said thank you. Will do. Hey, tj, I know that you and brando had a little falling-out, but it meant a lot to him that you guys patched things back up. I just wish that you had more years of being friends. But nothing lasts forever. Can you give us a minute? Sure. I’m okay, willow. It’s the day of your husband’s funeral. Nobody is expecting you to be “okay.” I’m just sorry I haven’t been around more for you. I — I understand why you stayed away. You do? You didn’t think that I could handle you having michael and wiley and a baby on the way.

[ Sighs ] I’m just happy for you, willow. Your life is pretty perfect. Nina, I appreciate youpulling out all the stops today for sasha, and I’m not surprised, considering my uncle curtis is one of your biggest fans. I feel the same about him. What I don’t understand is why you’d stick your nose in and suggest something’s happening between willow and me. I know you and portia love each other. It’s plain to see whenever you’re together. The two of you have done more than just buy a house together. You’ve done everything you can to create a family. And not just for the two of you, but for your dad and aunt stella. And don’t forget about trina. Even though she’s away at college, living in the dorms, our house is her home, as well. No. Of course. And it’s because of trina that —

[ Sighs ] Because of trina what? What about trina?

[ Telephone ringing ] I need to take this.

[ Ringing continues ]

[ Ringing stops ]Commissioner ashford. What? When did this happen and where? Okay. I’ll be right there. Thanks. What’s wrong? We have another victim. Have you guys heard? It happened again. No, we haven’t heard, nurse driscoll. I’m just trying to get my patient safely home. What happened again, amy? A john doe was just brought in. Another guy is dead after being stabbed. According to the coroner, he was likely attacked by the same woman with a hook. They weren’t able to identify him, but I recognized him right away. Because he’d been a patient here not that long ago. Well, who is it?! That bartender guy who testified at trina’s trial.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Oz haggerty? Wai– ava. Ava? Don’t you think we should talk about this? No. I-I have to go. You just don’t get it. It’s not about what ava has on me or what I have on her.

[ Scoffs ] Well, tell that to the young lady ava pushed over the parapet. Ava swears that it was an accident. Well, fine. Say that I, uh — say I believe here. Do you really think the police would? Or a jury? Ava had just discovered you had slept with your son’s girlfriend. She was out for revenge on esme. And to frame you for the crime… would be an act of love. Ava didn’t twist my arm. She didn’t threaten me. I proved to her that she could trust me again in spite of the terrible mistake that I made with esme. I earned ava’s trust by putting my life in her hands. And I did it willingly, with my eyes wide open. But you can’t understand that, can you, uncle? I can understand you’re acting like a damn fool. It’s sad. Despite all of your conquests… you’ve never really been in love.

Gladys. You can’t cut and run. You got to be here. For sasha. You got to be strong for her. ‘Cause brando can’t be. Now, look, look. You know, listen to me. Sasha has been through — she has — she has lost a child and her husband. No one knows that kind of pain. Only you do because you have lost a son and a grandchild. You got — you got to be here for her. You guys got to be here for each other. Today, the next day, and the day after. I wish I was as strong as you think I am. But you’re not gonna have to do this alone. You’re not gonna have to grieve alone. I’m gonna be here for you. You know, brando used to come to me… for advice. Not for tuning up engines or — or business. He thought I had all the answers. But the thing is, you know, I told him I didn’T. He used to come to me and he’d say… …”how can I be a better… father, a better husband?” And I’d say to him… “there’s nothing more important than family.” Success. Power. Money. And I-I just want you to know that you’re always gonna be part of my family. Of course, family’s the most important thing. A lot of money doesn’t hurt, though, right? That is the gladys that I know.

[ Laughs ] Ohh. I-I know my life might look perfect, but it’s not. Is there an issue with the baby? Oh. No, no, no. No. The baby’s fine. Then, willow, is there an issue with you? No, no, no. I’m fine. It’s just, um… it’s just not all smooth sailing.

[ Sighs ] I get it. You lost harmony not long after you found out that she wasn’t your biological mother. That’s a lot. Right. You know, if this year has taught me anything, it’s that good things and bad things can happen at the same time. Which is why I feel so fortunate to have a friend like you. And I hope that never changes. No. Never. Tj, whatever is going on with your “friendship” with willow, I’m just giving you a friendly warning. Take it from me. You do not want michael corinthos as an enemy. Did the pcpd have a legitimate reason to suspect dex heller? Well, I can’t talk about the details of an ongoing investigation. But, yeah, dex was brought in as a person of interest until diane told us that her attacker was a woman. Why? Well, before diane made her id, sonny took matters into his own hands and almost played judge, jury, and executioner. Look. If you don’t believe me, go talk to dex. I already told you. I don’t want to get the cops involved. Yeah, but you didn’t tell me why. You’re not a fugitive, are you? No. Not afraid to incriminate yourself in your own kidnapping and torture? No. So then why are you protecting sonny? You hate your stepfather. Okay? I-I get it. And you don’t? He’s not my favorite person at the moment, no. Listen. So many people, so many good people have been protecting sonny for so long. Someone has to take him down. You sound like your brother. How do you know I sound like michael?

[ Sighs ] They changed the locks? Like that’s gonna stop me. I will not be schooled in the art of love by a man who bedded his son’s ex-girlfriend because his own wife wanted nothing more to do with him. I’ve experienced

real passion, the kind you’ll never know.

[ Chuckles ] Are you talking about what you had with liesl obrecht? No, I believe that’s called obsession, not passion. And she clearly wants nothing to do with you. What ava and I have, now that happens once in a lifetime. Wait, wait. Don’t you mean “had”? Your divorce is well under way. Oh, you can force me to divorce her. But the way I feel for ava, that will never —

[ Door rattling ]

[ Thud ] Wha–

We’re supposed to be here honoring brando and supporting sasha and gladys. Okay? Can you put this on hold for today? Just today. Look, look, look. Dex was brought into the pcpd for questioning. Sonny shows up to get him out, then dex and sonny, they leave together. And dex, he disappears for 48 hours. Okay, you know our father as well as I do. Where the hell do you think dex was? I want to thank you. Everything is just so lovely. No need to thank me. Well, then maybe I can repay you like this. I know everyone thinks I’m self-absorbed. And let’s face it — sometimes I am. But I’ve seen the strain between you and michael. I spent two years trying to make things right with brando. We were almost there. And then I ran out of time. Don’t make my mistake. Don’t think you have forever to make things right with michael. Do it now. It’s no big secret whenever I’m with sonny and we run into michael, he goes after him with both barrels. And, you know, I gotta say, t-the way boss keeps his cool with michael attacking him, it’s impressive. It sounds like you admire sonny. He looks after the people he cares about. This? This is sonny looking after the people he cares about? I didn’t say I like it. I just said I get it.

[ Sighs ] Don’t you see? That’s exactly what he’s doing. He wants you to be able to give him the benefit of the doubt. Dex, he’s never gonna do that for you, okay? You need to quit his organization right now before you get in any deeper. Who says I want out? The john doe at the morgue has been identified by a previous stay at G.H. Name is oz haggerty… I didn’t expect to see you here. Jordan asked me to come by to show me a new set of the divorce papers. They’ve officially been filed. So it won’t be long now, huh? Too late to back out now. Thanks. Talk to you soon.

[ Receiver clicks ] Uh, don’t you two have a wedding to plan? Oh — yeah, we do. But if there’s anything you need to help find this attacker, you know, we’re here to help. Sadly, the files are getting thicker and thicker. The only thing we have to go off is that diane said the attacker is a woman, so we really aren’t any closer. There is something that three of the victims have in common. What’s that? My daughter. Don’t touch me. Listening in on keyholes, are we, now? Oh, don’t flatter yourself. I have absolutely zero interest in what you and nikolas talk about. What are you doing here? Oh, I-I just wanted to tell you that there’s been another fatal attack. This time, the victim was that bartender, the — the one who esme tried to keep from testifying for trina. Thank you for the update. But, uh —

[ Chuckles ] You could have just called with the news. I was just gonna come and get some of my clothes. But never mind. If you would, could you please ask the staff to pack up my things and have them sent to nina’s? Perhaps I should come with you just as added protection. Suit yourself. Nikolas: Ava. Thank you. For the warning. You know, on second thought, thank you for the offer, victor, but I can take care of myself. Oh, I have no doubt about that. But it is a wicked world out there.

What was the combination? Spencer’s birthday.

[ Beeping ] Who the hell are you?! I know it’s been a very difficult day for everyone who loved brando and who loves sasha. Michael, make sure that willow gets home safe and gets some rest. I can take care of myself. Tj, could I get a ride with you? Of course. Michael: Thanks, tj. I’ll see you at home, alright? Okay. Nina, can you give me and michael a minute? I’m — I-I want to have a conversation with my son. I-I don’t know how, but trina is the common denominator. I mean, first there was ava, a-and she isn’t just trina’s boss. She’s her mentor and supported her the whole time during the trial. And then there was diane miller, who came in when scott baldwin had to step away. And she was brilliant in defending trina the best way she possibly could. And now oz haggerty? It was his testimony saying that he sold the black-market phone to esme prince and not trina that proved trina’s innocence. Yes, at first glance, your theory makes sense that there’s a pattern, but what about brando corbin? Is there a connection to trina that I’m not aware about? He’s the only exception. Trina barely knew brando. Unless… unless what? Unless brando wasn’t the attacker’s real target. Josslyn jacks had just been in that same alley outside charlie’S. Josslyn is connected to trina. Josslyn: Well, just so you know, next time sonny turns against you, do not wait for me to come rescue you. There might not be a next time. Yes. There will be. Sonny will betray you, just like he’s betrayed everybody else. And I just really hope you can see the man he really is before it’s too late for you.

[ Door closes ] Son of a bitch. I’m gonna go get some water. Okay. So, um… gladys shared something with me that I… I-I wanted to share with you. She said it’s too late to make things right with brando, but she thinks it’s not too late for us to make things right. And I — and I took that to heart. Lo– okay. Can — I just want you to hear me out. I want to make things right between us. Whatever it takes. How can I help you, detective? I want to ask you some questions about what happened between you and my father after brando corbin was killed.

General Hospital Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

How’s donna?

[ Chuckles ] Well, you’re missing all the fun. You know, your daughter, she is a go-getter. She is running circles around me and pilar. Well, that’s about right. So, how’s your day? I’ll tell — I’ll tell you about it when — when I get home. Okay. Well, we’ll be here. Um, donna and pilar are having an early supper in the kitchen. But for you and me, I ordered a gourmet dinner for two to be delivered from the metro court. Alright. I’ll s– I’ll see you when I get home. Alright, handsome.

Bye.

[ Knock on door ] What’s on your mind, dex? Just wanted to follow up on that deal you mentioned. Some third party that wants to use your facilities. What about it? You said you might want me to assist you. Well, that depends. On what? What’s more important to you — working for me… or making time with josslyn?

[ Humming ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Humming ]

[ Knock on door ] Oh. That must be dinner. Hey, guys, you’re early. What are you doing here? I don’T… I don’t know what to say. When I was in the police academy for training, I had several instructors tell me that I was gonna be a great cop because I’m so… naturally stoic. Big emotions like this don’t come easy for me. But tonight… I-I don’t know. I guess my feelings for you are just so strong that I had to say something. And even though this is new to me, I just want you to know how much I meant it. Every single word. I love you, trina. I think I’ve lost my appetite. Wow. Um… I wasn’t sure how I was gonna feel after actually saying that, but [Chuckles] I feel great. And just so you know, I don’t expect you to say anything in return. I actually got you something. And, no, it’s not another can of soda. We’ve…progressed. I wanted to get you something to symbolize how I felt. It’s called l’amour, which seemed fitting. Rory…this is… esme, where the hell are you? And what have you gotten yourself into now?

[ Keys jangling ]

[ Lock clicks ] Hello… …lover. They tell me that you can’t talk to me… but I bet I know what you’re thinking. Blast from the past, right? What are the odds? You and me together again for the first time.

[ Exhales sharply ] How long’s it been? Almost feels like a lifetime ago, but… some things in life… you just can’t forget. We both know… that when we were bad… it was very good. You went to spoon island? Yeah. Like I said, I was looking for esme prince. What made you think she’d be on the island of all places? I was just following the trail. What trail? The one that begins and ends with you.

I don’t understand. How could I have led you to look for esme on spoon island? Well, you’re the last person to see esme before she attacked you on the pier. And if you hadn’t been able to call the police first, who knows what esme would have done? But she didn’T. I mean, we should just be thankful I only ended up with a bump on my head and leave it at that. Yeah, I know, but who knows… who knows that it would have ended there? Y-yeah. I do– I don’t know. I… you see, I think esme’s hiding on spoon island. And now that I’ve been there… I’m even more convinced I’m on the right track. You remember how we first met? It was ages ago. Decades. But I can still see it… as if it was yesterday. I was hiking the cascade mountains. A regular nature girl on a journey to find a place for myself outside the rigid confines of middle class society. That’S… when I smelled smoke coming from a cabin in the middle of nowhere. And there you were… chopping wood with a hatchet. The blade gleamed in the moonlight. You always were… handy with a blade.

[ Sighs ] Such a shame to lose this hand. It was… so talented… …in so many ways. I said… “my name is hazel.” You said you were richard. We were both playing the same game. We’d found each other. Soul mates. For a brief interlude. Is this beginning to come back to you… “richie”? Rory: Trina? What’s wrong? Oh. I don’t understand. They said your release was weeks away. It was supposed to be, but please don’t let me interrupt your dinner. You’re clearly in the middle of something special. We are. Spencer. What happened? How are you a free man? Trina, don’t worry. I didn’t escape this time. It’s okay. So what changed? My great nephew’s exemplary behavior earned him an early release.Thank you, uncle victor, but trina is far smarter than that. The truth is… I did what I always do, and I relied on my family to get me out of trouble. Why are you surprised, josslyn? Everyone, including yourself, knows that sonny and i are involved. Well, I’m here to pick up donna… and it was my understanding that you’re not allowed anywhere near my little sister. Well, I’m happy to tell you that that information is outdated. Really? Yes. Sonny and carly, they reached a new understanding, and I had the best day with donna. So much fun. She’s in the kitchen with pilar having an early supper. Okay. Well, I will check in with my mom about the change in rules when I get home. Uph. Sonny isn’t home from work yet. Oh, shocking. The family man is too busy obstructing justice or doing whatever it is he does to spend time with his youngest child. So he leaves her with the girlfriend. Lucky donna. She’s still too young to understand where she ranks on sonny’s list of priorities. Sonny is on his way home right now, and I know that he would love to see his daughter and kiss her before you take her back to carly. So… you wait a little while. I could take it… if you can. I didn’t go to josslyn for help. Okay, I never meant for her to be involved. But she was involved. What happened? I c– I can’T. I can’T. Okay, you know what? You can lie to me later. What? Let me see. No, I-I-I don’t lie to you. Okay. You can “refuse to answer me” later. Let me see your side. It’s just a crease. “It’s just a crease”?! No internal bleeding. No bullet to remove. Oh, so you were shot. God. I shouldn’t even be here. Well, you are, and you’re bleeding from a gun wound, so give me one good reason why I shouldn’t call the cops! ‘Cause I’m asking you not to. I don’t know if josslyn saved my life, but she definitely saved my freedom. And people know I work for you, boss. If she had called an ambulance or — or called the cops, you would have been investigated at the very least. Dex, what’s your point? Just say it. Josslyn did me a favor, and I am grateful. But that’s as far as it goes. Good. Because I spent today cleaning up the mess you left behind when you were driving that transfer van to pentonville. I was concerned that somebody could have identified you as the driver of the van, so I made sure that nobody is going to identify you. I appreciate that, boss. And I promise you, I will learn from my mistakes. I believe that you mean that when you say it… …but like my old man used to say… …some mistakes are too big to make.

Sonny: You’re probably standing there thinking, “you know, I’ve done such a solid job. Why is sonny so hard on me?” Something like that. It’s because when I was about your age, I-I-I was in debt… …to a guy named joe scully, and I would have done anything to pay him back. Anything? Yeah, anything. Joe wanted me to do a job. I was young, inexperienced. I did the job. I left a trail that could have led straight back to me. Even worse, could have led straight from me to joe. Obviously, you’re still in the game. So what happened? What saved you? I had a guardian angel. He took it upon himself to clean up after me. That’s lucky. Yeah, well, luck is only gonna get you so far in life. In this business… …you have to have brains. You have to trust your instincts. I have both. Okay, think of this as a crossroads in your life. Y-you’re the one who’s gonna have to make that call. You got to figure out… what you’re gonna hold on to, what you’re gonna let go, what matters, what doesn’t matter. Oh, I can wait until donna is done eating, because we both know that pilar cooked that meal, you didn’T. But let’s be clear — the second that she’s done, we’re leaving, whether sonny’s back or not. Josslyn, why don’t we just go to our separate corners until the referee rings the bell for round two? Round two? What, like a fight? Why would I want to fight you, nina? I’m so grateful. Well, your idea of gratitude leaves a lot to be desired. No, really. You did what no one else ever could. You took sonny away from my mom, and you set her free. Now donna, I do feel a little bit sorry for, but in the end, I know she’s better off. I mean, she doesn’t have to grow up listening to her mom defend the indefensible like I did. See, I watched my mom turn herself inside out for sonny. But she doesn’t have to do that anymore. She can live her life the way she wants to, and she has never had a better time. So, really, nina, thank you. Out of all of sonny’s many girlfriends, you just may be my favorite. You make it sound like I’m the latest in a long line. You said it, not me. Spencer: What can I say? When your grandmother is the mayor and your great uncle is victor cassadine, you can pretty much get yourself out of anything. Rory: What, you’re saying that the mayor pulled strings to get you an early release? When you have family connections, the one golden rule is never advertise who did what. Though I will say that my uncle cyrus did look out for me while I was inside. Cyrus? As in cyrus renault? Happily that unfortunate family tie came to an end the second spencer walked out of the pentonville gates. Well, we will let you get back to your dinner. It was good seeing you. Spencer, spencer, that was — that was very graciously done, but you’re making one mistake. What’s that? You’re a cassadine. Cassadines never quite. So, what’d you find on spoon island? It’s more what I didn’t find when I went to wyndemere. You went to the house? Yeah, I sort of thought, you know, nik might cooperate, help me look for esme. But he kind of played the big shot and supposedly had some of the staff search the property. Even if they did look, they weren’t gonna find esme. Then you walked away empty-handed. Of course, nik said he was just looking out for your best interest, but I wasn’t buying it. Why not? Well, you know, his lips were moving. Remember how we used to bundle together in the cabin… on those cold winter nights… when the wolves howled outside the window? We’d howl right back at them because that’s what we were — a couple of timber wolves too wild for all those poor, pathetic sheep out there. You’re in there, aren’t you? You might have everybody else fooled… …but I know you… …inside and out. You’re not really paralyzed, are you? This is just your way of controlling the situation, getting everyone lulled into a false sense of security, and that’s when you’re gonna strike. I know that I’m getting to you, because after all… …I’m your hazel… …and I can affect you… in ways… that nobody else can. You left me… without so much as a goodbye. You broke my heart. I don’t think you’ve ever been hurt as badly. But that can be arranged.

You know, I get the sense that nik’s only willing to cooperate when he’s in charge. Sounds like him. Hm. Maybe. What do you mean? I mean… I have a feeling nikolas is hiding something.

[ Gasps ] It speaks! I knew my mountain man was in there… just waiting to break free. And you just might live to regret that. Or not. Ooh. Naughty boy. I know you wouldn’t hurt me. Since when did you ever mind a little pain?

[ Exhales sharply ] You remembered my sweet spot…lover. There was never anything sweet about you. But that was your appeal. Two of a kind. Like knows like. You know, I actually began to question if this ever happened at all. You seemed too good to be true and then just disappeared without a trace. I actually wondered if I’d imagined the whole thing. It wasn’t your imagination. Take a whiff. I still use the same soap — all over my body. Every…inch.

[ Inhales deeply ] Come on. Sit down. We said we were gonna celebrate your first night of freedom from pentonville, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do. A little life lesson — don’t let anyone or anything prevent you from enjoying your first breath of freedom. I am not ungrateful to you for getting me out early. I never thought that I was going to be out of pentonville before new year’s eve, much less christmas. But it is difficult to celebrate when — you feel the same way about the lovely miss robinson? With all due respect, uncle victor, what is the point? Does it even make a difference? We got here just in time to hear rory tell trina that he loves her. I think it makes all the difference in the world. Now, where were we? We were celebrating our three-month anniversary. I hope you like —

[ Cellphone ringing ] Uh… I’m so sorry. It’s work. I have to take this. Oh, yeah. I understand. Go.

[ Ringing stops ] Hello, commissioner. Remember, spencer… opportunity is only lost on those who fail to seize it.

[ Clears throat ] Trina, may I join you? Spencer, what are you doing? I have a question for you. Can we start over? I still say your gratitude sounds a lot like resentment. I’m guessing that you talked to your mother about what happened between us today. My mom never mentions you. Then you don’t know. Y-your mother and I, we were at willow’s, and willow fainted. Willow fainted? Is she okay? Does michael know? Well, I would imagine by now he does. What happened? And… and how were you involved? Well, I went over there to talk to willow about helping sasha, and… things got a little heated. She got upset, and then willow passed out.

[ Exhales sharply ] Only you would pick a fight with a pregnant woman. I did not pick a fight with willow. I did not do that. Okay? My point is, josslyn, that even for a split second, your mother and i were able to put our differences aside and help willow. And if we were able to do that, why can’t you and i do the same thing? My mom makes her own choices, and so do I. Even though I am grateful you took sonny off her hands, it does not mean that I like you. It did not take sonny off anyone’s hands. I fell in love with him. How romantic. Okay, the only part of that that I regret is keeping the truth from everyone. And you might not understand this… …but I kept the truth from myself. I came to care for someone when everything else was telling me it was wrong. Damn. What? Oh, this, it wasn’t supposed to happen.

[ Chuckles ] Well, it did. I have to go. Bye, joss. You’re right, nina. I can’t understand. I’m nothing like you. What are you talking about? Who said you were like me? One of the hardest things I’ve had to learn in my life… is went to use a gun… and when to keep the safety on. Taken me almost a lifetime to learn that. You had to start sometime, right? Yes, I did. And so do you.

What do you want me to do with it? It’s yours. Take it. So that deal you asked about, I set up a meeting with the “third party” and I want you to come with me. What exactly do you want me to do? Uh, just — what I’d like you to do, I just want you to just listen. Take orders. I do– you’re probably not gonna have to use the gun. So you just want a little security. Yeah. So, the go-between who set up the meeting, that’s not really a trusted friend or somebody that I’ve done business with. But if the contractors, that’s who they chose, then… I just want to be prepared. Do you have any questions? Nope. Let’s go. Where are we going? Isn’t that what you’re after, nina? Sympathy? Empathy? You want people to put themselves in your shoes so — so they can see you had no other option but to lie? Except I’m not like that. I-I don’t use deceit to get what I want. So that’s why I’m nothing like you. What are you talking about? I never said that you were deceitful. If anything, you’re really honest to a fault. And maybe a little quick to judge people by your own high standards. I’m gonna see if she’s done with dessert. Hey. How’s cameron? Being close to cam is always nice, and he’s one of my favorite people. But? But… I thought that sleeping together would reconnect us and act as some kind of magic fix for what I haven’t been feeling. It’s none of your business. I don’t know, spencer. So much has happened. I don’t even think a fresh start is even possible for us. I suppose that’s fair. I did what I did, and there are consequences that I have to live with. I mean… I appreciate that you want to try… …but it’s hard for me to even think about this now, much less talk it over. Yeah. You and rory are at the pc grill… …not at kelly’s having burgers. I know you two were in the middle of something special, and if I had known that you were going to be here tonight with your boyfriend celebrating, I would have insisted to my uncle that we go elsewhere, especially after I heard what rory said to you. It — I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop. He practically announced it to the entire restaurant. Not that I blame him. If I was in his place, I’d want to…tell everyone too. It’s not what you think it is. Trina… when a guy takes you out… to one of the best restaurants in town… and he tells you that he loves you… what else could that mean? Copy that, commissioner. See you soon. I do admire your dedication, officer cabrera. Excuse me. As an officer, you swore to do the right thing. I assume you know when to stay the course and when to call it a day. What the hell was that for? For what you did to my franco. Fr–

[ Scoffs ] You know, I keep a pretty good record of the crimes I’ve committed, the people I’ve killed. And franco baldwin isn’t on that list. Don’t you even mention his name. You victimized my son. And what’s that old expression? One bad turn… deserves another. Oh, you wouldn’t blow the whistle on me, would you, “hazel,” dear? I’d hate to be backed into that corner… “richie”…boy. Well, nikolas’ uncle victor is living at wyndemere now. There’s bound to be something nikolas is hiding. So you think victor’s using spoon island for something?

[ Sighs ] Wyndemere isn’t just a family estate. It’s a fortress. A fortress where they might be hiding esme prince. You know, I think it’s a really good time to have a conversation with jordan. No, you can’t! Why not?

Finn, you’re a healer, not a detective. Your place is here at G.H., Doing the kind of lifesaving work you were meant to do, not taking on a cold-blooded killer. I’m not going after a killer myself. I know that’s the job for the pcpd. But if she finds out that you led them to her, she’s gonna put you on her list. I’m sorry. I can’t just let this go. Not after she attacked you. As long as she’s out there, she’s free to go after you again. Or maybe go after your kids or anybody else who gets in her way. What about your daughter? If you don’t give up the search, what if esme targets violet? It’s violet I’m thinking about. How do I ever look my little girl in the eye knowing I didn’t do everything I could to put a stop to this? Come on. Let’s go to my office. We’ll call jordan, and — and — and we’ll see what she has to say about all this, alright?

[ Sighs ] Okay. Oh, hey, you, uh — you forgot something. Finn, wait! You know, of all the women I’ve loved… …you were always my most vivid memory. I’ve read all about you, baby, so I’m guessing that’s a crock. But I’d love to believe it. I always knew that our paths would cross again. What we had… was kismet. Then why would you even dream of exposing me?

[ Chuckles softly ] Don’t worry, mountain man. I wouldn’t do that. I’m just putting you on notice not to even think about adding me to your list of victims. Heaven forbid. Heaven isn’t your final destination. Or mine. Still… …I am sorry for walking out on you. Who knows? If I’d stuck around… maybe both our lives would have been different. Let’s just say… I owe you one. According to my math, you owe me two. Rory is a great guy. He’s honest, kind, has a very great start on a very solid career. Even ava, who has very high standards, thinks I’d be crazy for letting him get away. And of course, you and ava always agree with each other. Everything okay here? Everything’s fine. Time for me to rejoin my uncle at our table. Trina… it was really great seeing you. So… what did spencer want? So where’s donna? Pilar’s helping her wash up. As soon as they’re done, we’re leaving. Sonny’s just gonna have to do better about his time management with the next visit.

[ Door opens ] No. Sonny: Hey, nina. I didn’t expect to find you here. Well… what’s going on? So is dex joining us?

Josslyn, what are you doing here? Um, I-I’m here to pick up donna. Oh. Uh, I’m gonna see if she’s ready. If it’s alright, boss, I’m gonna pass on the dinner invitation. Not really hungry. I should probably call it an early night. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go ahead. See you tomorrow. Good night, ms. Reeves. Good night, dex. So, you’re here alone… with josslyn? I don’t see any broken glass anywhere. What happened? Well, it’s clear she has other things on her mind. Spencer just wanted to touch base since he got an early release from pentonville. Obviously…I wasn’t expecting to see him tonight. It’s unfortunate that our big night got interrupted. And now I just got called back to the station. Plus, I did tell your mom I’d get you home before it got too late, so… well, we’ll do it again with no interruptions. Oh. Can’t forget my gift.

[ Chuckles ] I really love it, rory. I do. Spencer, if trina chooses officer cabrera over you, then, frankly, it’s her loss. If you’ll excuse me, I need to use the restroom. Finn: You left these behind. You know, it’s strange. I, um… I saw a bottle just like this when I went to see nikolas. Prenatal vitamins. Are they yours? I owe you two? How do you mean? Well, let’s just say that when you left me… never to return… you didn’t just stomp on my heart and walk out of my life. I’m not following. In the years since, I’ve learned… that when you left… you were carrying the child that we created. Hey, what’s going on? Is there something you want to tell me? Please let it go. I don’t want to let it go. Please. I want to hear your voice. But if you don’t want to tell me, I’M… I’m fine to go to wyndemere and get the answers. No, please don’T. Please don’t what? Please don’t what, elizabeth? Please don’t what? Are you pregnant?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

the doctor I argue the one who fell down the stairs. It was reiko.

[ Scoffs ] You think reiko fell because of you? I don’t just think it, finn. I know it’s true. Demetrius, she’s not in her room. And she tied her bedsheets together to make some kind of a rope. Probably so she could use the ledge to make it to an adjoining room.

[ Exhales sharply ] Now, I looked throughout the entire main house. She’s nowhere to be found.

[ Exhales deeply ] Felicia: Well? Mac: Give him a moment. You’re right. Moment’s over. Is mac your father? Um… you’re not my dad, mac. What? Are you sure? Yeah. It’s not a match. Ma– uh, may I see that? What’s the point of dragging it out, felicia? Looking at the paper’s not gonna change what it says. Cody’s not my son. I’m sorry, mac. You okay? Congrats. You know?

[ Chuckles ] Scorpio gene pool remains pristine. I’m so scared. I don’t wanna die.

[ Whimpers ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Door opens ] Michael. Um… did melanie get wiley okay? Wiley’s fine. What did I just walk in on? Damn it, anna should have been here by now.

[ Be ep ] Dispatcher:

We need a unit to check out

the hardware store

on maplewood drive.

The alarm was triggered.

[ Chirp ] Nothing about a police transport. Anna, where are you? I have not heard from you. How’d it go with anna? Dante: Hey. What do you know about anna?

[ Radiator hissing ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Chirp ]

Prison transport 1015.

What’s your status?

[ Chirp ]

[ Groans ]

[ Grunts ] Do yourself a favor. Stay unconscious.

[ Door chime beeping ]

[ Groaning, breathing heavily ]

[ Chirp ]

Prison transport 1015.

Do you copy?

We need a status update.

[ Chirp ]

[ Groaning ] Okay. Okay. Ms. Devane. Anna. Anna. I need you to wake up, now. Come on, help me out here. I heard that anna’s being, uh, transferred to pentonville tonight, and, uh, so I just want to make sure when she gets there, she’s being taken care of. Unofficial, of course. Well, uh, unofficially, thank you. ‘Cause you know she shouldn’t be there, right? You know she was set up? Yes, I know. Okay. What are we gonna do? We — we — there’s literally nothing we can do until we get some evidence of what really happened to lucy coe. You working on it? Yeah. What do you think? What gave it away? Your badge. The badge and the gun? Yeah. [ Chuckles ] I was doing a witness statement here, but I’m glad I ran into you because I was thinking I wanted to, I don’t know, get together. Let’s get a beer, go to the hatchet range. Have a — have a guys’ night, you know? I’d love to. Okay, good. But aren’t you supposed to be spen– you know, spending free time with sam and rocco? You know, working your — on blending your two families? Blen– yeah, we’re — we’re blended. We’re blended up, man. Come on, if I can make the time, so can you. What’s going on dante? Thanks for agreeing to the dna test. At least now we know the truth. Let’s go. Well, hey, hol– hold on a sec. Uh… uh, maybe we should — oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, good call.

[ Breathes deeply ] I don’t understand. What’s left to talk about? Well, look, I mean, you know, we may not be related, but… I don’t know… britt kept telling me how great of a guy you are. And other than dante, I don’t really have any friends here. [ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles awkwardly ] So, what, you want to go out for a beer sometime? Would that be so bad, you know? I don’t know, shoot some pool, go for a hike, I don’t know. Look, cody, you don’t have to fake a friendship to spare my bruised feelings. Why’s it gotta be fake? I mean, if britt’s right, you’re a pretty good guy to have as a buddy. In case you get arrested again? That’s the sense of humor she was telling me about. What do you say, we — we maybegive this friend thing a shot? Sure. Why not? All right? You and I, we’ll go out for a beer sometime, okay? As long as you don’t feel forced into it. Yep, deal. This memory you’ve been having was about reiko, and you’ve been too afraid to tell me? It was a jumble — and all the flashes. The– then I suspected my dad was involved, and I-I was really confused. I didn’t wanna burden you with this until I knew more. And now I wish I’d never found out that I caused reiko’s death. How do you even know if anything your parents were telling you is true? Michael: None of this makes any sense. Willow, you’re supposed to be at your ob appointment. What are you doing in dr. Randolph’s office? Michael… I — michael, there — there’s information that you don’t have. Whatever I need to hear, I’ll hear it from willow. Why’d I walk in on you in an empty office in the arms of another man? And what exactly is going on here? Oh, my god. Michael. Do you think I’m cheating on you with T.J.?

Hey. Hey. Well, I know you’re on the fence about gaining a new family, so look at the bright side. You know, now your life doesn’t have to change. Yeah. Bright side. Okay. Let’s go. Not so fast, tough guy. Dispatcher: Requesting all

available units to route 31.

Prison transport 1015 is

overdue and not responding. That’s anna’s transport.

[ Engine starts ] Anna. Anna, I need you to wake up now. Anna, if you don’t respond, I have to take you to the hospital, and then we’re both screwed. Okay. Okay. Hey, hey. Do you know your name? Do you remember where you are? Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I’m anna devane, and… we’re on our way to pentonville.

[ Groans ] Hey, hey. You hit your head. Yeah. But your — your pupils are even, okay? There’s a wound on your head, but it looks shallow, so other than a headache, you should be fine. Yeah. What happened? The guard figured out I was a plant. He tried to grab the steering wheel. What about him? Is he okay? He’s unconscious, but he should be fine. Where’s heather? I’m not sure. When I came to, there was no sign of the second prisoner. Oh, god. I guess I’m just worried about you. You don’t need to be. There’s nothing to worry about. You know, I’m fine. Yeah? Yeah. Look, I know that rift with michael is kind of weighing on you. It’s been going on a long time. This thing with anna, brando getting murdered, ava and diane attacked, that’s a lot of stuff. Well, I’m used to having, you know, a lot on my plate. Well, I’m here to tell you you don’t have to go it alone. I’ll be looking after you when you’re busy looking after other people. Thank you.

[ Cellphone rings ] Sorry. Falconeri.

[ Sighs ] Dex, dex, dex, come on. Okay. Can you — yeah, text me the details. I’m on my way. I gotta go to work. Oh, really? Yeah. Be careful. I will. You, too. Yeah. I can’t believe you think I’d ever cheat on you. Wait. Nina was in the park. She said something to you, didn’t she? Oh, that woman. Just forget nina. Tell me what is going on with you. I will tell you what’s not going on. Tj and i are not having an affair. Nina’s wrong. She totally misinterpreted our friendship. Oh, nina told me you — she’s seen you two having, what, emotional, intimate talks. Why? What’s going on? What is really going on? Do you mind giving us some privacy? Not at all. Good luck. Look, I know that every word coming out of nina’s mouth is a lie. When sonny said that he noticed you’d been on edge lately, I couldn’t deny it. Yeah, originally I chalked it up to you being pregnant, right, starting a new job. But come on, something’s been off with you for — for a long time now. So please, whatever it is, just tell me. Tell me the truth. You’re right. I have been on edge for a while. Because… …michael… …I have leukemia. How are you?

[ Scoffs ] Really? I know you had mixed feelings about becoming a scorpio. I think I got what I deserve. What does that mean?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Ooh. I need to go check on a patient. Come on, mac. Talk to me. After all these years of helping to raise robert’s daughter and my daughters, you thought you had a son of your own. It’s got to be a big disappointment. It’s not like I knew cody very well. And now I don’t have to worry about anything disrupting our family. Look, it all worked out for the best. So that’s it? Just back to life as usual? Honestly, I was a little excited at the prospect of having a son. I know. I’m sorry. I mean, if cody turned out to be mine, I — I would have enjoyed that. But that’s not what the test results proved. And it’s okay, because I love my life as is. I’ll be okay. Maybe when we go home, we can video call robin.

[ Cellphone rings ] What you got? Chief scorpio. Okay. Yeah, I’m on my way. There’s an issue with anna’s transport to pentonville. Okay, well, go. I’ll call a ride-share. Okay. You keep me posted. I will. Mac sure took off in a hurry. What’s it to you? Finn: I remember this. I remember reiko was hospitalized with some injuries, that she fell down a flight of stairs. She — she tripped. She told me she tripped. I wish to god that was true. But I remember it now. Finn, I caused the fall which put her in the hospital where she contracted blackwood’S. Mnh. And I’ve been pushing you away so that I would never have to know what happened. And neither would you. Mm.

[ Glass crunches ] That’s strange. Why would this…

I mean, that can’t be what happened. That — that doesn’t make any sense. All right, listen, if — if reiko fell because of a fight with you, why would she claim to be alone? Why would she lie to me? Finn, I love you. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for any of this — just say it, elizabeth. Just say the words. Reiko and my dad were having an affair. God, heather’s escaped. Heather! I-I don’t know. When I came to, I came around, the door was open and you were alone.

[ Groans ] She’s so dangerous. We need to find her. Have you got the keys? Yeah. Thanks. Okay. You injured anywhere else? No, I’m fine. Feel a bit dizzy. Okay. Are you okay? I’ll be fine. We got to get out of here before the cops find us, okay? Yeah. And anyone else who wants me dead. Oh! Wait, wait. Valentin! Okay. It’s okay. He’s with us. He’s with us. Are you okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hit my head. I’m fine. I’m fine. Listen, I have a police scanner in the car. They’re on their way. We’ve got to move. Okay. We can’t leave until we find heather. She escaped. Heather! No, no, there’s no time. No, no, no. She’s dangerous. The police are coming. They’re going to take you to pentonville. That’s where victor wants you. He’s going to eliminate you. Come on. All right, all right. Thank you. You’re welcome. Go. Tj: Sonny. Hey, tj. What’s going on? Any chance you’re here with nina? No, I’m by myself. Can I help you with anything? No. My problem’s with nina. Really? Is this about you and willow? Leukemia? That’s why I’m in dr. Randolph’s office. She’s my oncologist. The test results I was getting today weren’t about the pregnancy. They’re about my cancer. How long have you known? Maybe a week after I found out I was pregnant. Tj is the first one who suspected it. I am so sorry I kept this from you. It has been the hardest decision I have ever had to live with in my life. I’m so sorry, willow. I’m so sorry. What’s it to me? Honestly, I don’t know. I mean, mac rushed out of here looking upset. So he may not be my dad, but I-I-I still care. He got some unsettling news about one of our good friends. Really? I’m so sorry. Are they going to be okay or…? Well, I think that’s very kind of you to ask, but it’s clear that you were ambivalent at best at becoming a part of our family. So I can only imagine that now you might feel guilty since mac had his hopes up. From what it sounds like, probably not worthy of being mac’s son, so he’s probably better off without me. Well, if you really feel that way, then maybe these results are for the best. Take care of yourself, cody. I really mean that, okay? Okay. He’s still got a pulse. That’s good. Hey. Hey. How do I get you to a hospital?

[ Grunts ]

[ Sirens wailing ] Hear those sirens? Help is on the way.

I don’t even remember a jeff webber. All I know is that my dad and reiko were having an affair. My dad had a history of cheating on my mom. My wife and I were happy. I know. I know, and I’m really sorry. So am I, elizabeth. So am I. Thank you. I’m sure you have a lot of questions. Well, here. Let’s start with the obvious. How are you feeling? I’m scared. The baby? Baby’s fine. So all the times you– you’ve been… dizzy and tired, you… you’ve been doing chemo all by yourself? For the baby’s sake, I haven’t started chemo yet. I decided against it until we reached the second trimester. Willow, why? Tj, I was hoping I didn’t have to get into this personal matter. But willow is the mother of my grandchildren, and my son is involved, even though we’re not on good terms. Also, you know, molly. I was hoping that the tj I knew would not jeopardize all this. Sonny, can we just — can we stop, please? This is a huge misunderstanding. Nina confronted both me and willow separately about this, and we both made it extremely clear that we are not having an affair. But she does not want to believe that. Now she’s dragged you into it. And I don’t — you don’t what? Say it. Say it, tj. Sonny, you’ve always been there for me. Right. And I respect you. Right. But nina’s hell-bent on causing trouble for michael and willow, and she does not care how much trouble that’s going to cause for you, too. The security guard is on his way to gh. Oh, good. He’s in good condition. No injuries except for the bump on his head. Okay. And what’d he say? Well, he was blacked out until the paramedics arrived. Once they got him conscious, I asked him a few questions, but his memory was still pretty foggy. Did he know how the crash happened? Transport was supposed to stop at pentonville first, d’archam second. Driver drove right past the exit for pentonville. So the driver was the plant. That’s what the guard thought. Tried to stop the driver. That’s when the van spun out of control. So this whole thing was organized to spring one of the prisoners. And I can only imagine that anna is the one who was able to sort something like that out. Well, she certainly has enough contacts to call on for support to stay on the run. Ah, anna’s going to give us a real run for our money. What? Still nothing. We got to wait here for a minute. We can’t risk running into the police and getting pulled over. That’s a good strategy. Thank you. Not even an ounce of modesty anywhere. I’m good at this stuff. I — lucky me. You think dex is going to be all right? I think dex is going to be fine. Even if the guard realizes he was a plant, he won’t be able to id him. Besides, sonny will take care of dex. Thank you for taking care of me. Always. I like taking care of you. I hope you’re ready for this. I think it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Rry, it’s me.I just spoke with finn, and I really need someone to talk to. Can you call me back?

[ Breathes shakily ] I can’t explain it, but my life is out of control right now. How can I help? It’ll be okay. I promise.

[ Groans ] This is from our boathouse. Ah, you should have killed me when you had the chance, esme. You made a mistake. I did my own research in addition to what all the doctors here told me. If I were to start chemotherapy in the first trimester, that would put our baby at great risk. If I could wait to start chemo until the second trimester, that would give our baby the best chance of survival. And you– you’ve been living with this all by yourself for all these months. Willow, that must have been so hard on you. No. I wasn’t totally alone. The doctors here have been supportive, and tj has been a great friend. But the decision to delay chemotherapy has come with a cost. What do you mean? Dr. Randolph just told me that… the test results confirmed my leukemia is now stage iv. Stage iv. Oh, my god, willow. Okay. Okay, what’s next? I start chemo right away. But because of the advanced stage, terry also wants to look into a bone marrow transplant. You know what’s really good for a stiff neck? If you’re about to offer me a massage, no, thanks. I was going to say muscle relaxers. And I happen to know a great doctor here. This is to say thanks. For what? Standing by me through all my “maury” drama. It’s just a latte. It’s not poison. Don’t do that. Stop trying to avoid what’s really going on here. I am so sorry that I waited so long to tell you. But I swear to you, michael, even if you hadn’t walked in when you did, I was going to tell you today. I believe you. I just — do you want to know why I didn’t tell you before? Look, willow, we’re, uh — we’re a team. And we built a life together. With wiley. And if…I said or did anything that made you think that I wouldn’t support you or I wouldn’t be able to handle what you’re going through — no, no, no, no. No, it’s not that. When I heard the diagnosis and what chemo would mean for our unborn child, and the doctors here, all of them — britt, terry, tj — they all wanted me to start chemo immediately. I really struggled with it. Deep in my heart, I knew I-I… I couldn’t face losing another baby. Not after jonah. And I-I knew that wasn’t fair to wiley, that the worst case would be that the leukemia progressed and I didn’t recover, but I convinced myself that it wouldn’t do much harm to delay treatment by a few weeks.

[ Sighs ] I felt like it was the best choice for me, for our entire family. Okay. I just want to make one thing very clear. This was always your choice. And I support that today, and I — and I would have supported that then. I just wanted us to enjoy our time together with wiley before things got too hard. Spare us all some heartache. Especially if… I don’t have much time left. Which I might not. I appreciate you, you know, warning me about nina, but I know her really well, and I believe her heart is in the right place. Okay, but what — what possible good can come from telling michael that willow and i are having an affair? Trust me, that is the absolute last thing she needs right now. I saw you two together. It seemed like something was going on. I even said something to michael. Sonny, you have known me practically my entire life. Is that what you think about me? That I’m a cheater? I’m not — I’m not hearing you deny it. Sonny, I promise you that willow and i are not romantically involved. I give you my word — that is not happening. Something is happening, tj. I know it. It’s not for me to say. But I’m asking you to trust me. Okay. You know what? If — if you say nothing is going on between you and willow, then I have to choose to believe it. But I’m telling you right now, it’s not going to be enough for michael. And you know it.

e’s going to be a lotof people looking for me. Victor’s people, law enforcement. In no time, they’re going to be searching for you, too. I know. We got to get someplace secure. What do you think? Can we risk getting out on the road now? I don’t think we have a choice. We stay here, the police will find us by morning. All this will have been for nothing.

[ Engine starts ] Hey. That’s right. We need a bolo posted for the two women who were being transported to pentonville penitentiary and d’archam asylum. We do not believe that they are armed, but heather webber should be considered dangerous. The other woman, anna devane, she is a fugitive, but she is not a threat. Thank you. All right. I’ve notified the highway patrol, although they don’t have much to go on because the guard didn’t give them much of a description of the driver. We don’t know if anna and heather are on foot or in a vehicle. I think chances of us getting a lead tonight are slim. Excuse me, mac. What do you think’s going on here? I think you’re hiding behind sugary coffee so you don’t have to deal with your feelings about mac not being your father. Well, you can’t blame me for wondering what it would be like to be a part of a close-knit family. For a few seconds there, I thought maybe I wouldn’t be alone in this world. Yeah, I — I get that. Even though my mother drives me crazy, I don’t know what I would do without her. Well, taub may have been a son of a bitch, but he’s my dad, and that is that. I’ve been alone pretty much my whole life. Looking out for just me has served me well so far. Who knows? Maybe you dodged a bullet. Family is a curse. From now on, we’re a team, okay? No matter what comes. I’m so sorry I didn’t tell you sooner. Hey, look. The important thing is — is I, uh…I know now. All right? So you don’t have to face this alone anymore. We’re going to get through this. And we’re going to get through this how we always do. Together. You’re my family, willow.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hey, dante. I thought you were working. Well, I am. But you were talking about her before, so I thought I’d let you know that anna’s escaped. Really? Yeah. And heather webber. Okay, wait a minute. Heather webber is with — with anna? I guess there was a problem with the vehicle that was supposed to take heather to d’archam, so they threw her in with anna, and the plan was to drop anna at pentonville and then take heather to d’archam. But they didn’t make it that far. There was an accident, and the van crashed. And I’m here on the scene right now. What caused the accident? I don’t know, sonny. There was some sort of struggle. But there was only a guard here when we got here. He was the only one with the vehicle. He was injured and taken to gh. Any idea what happened? No. Not yet, but I’m going to figure it out. Do not let anybody off of the island. That hook-wielding psychopath was in the house. And I will be damned if I let her get away.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

With dr. Haskell as soon as possible. I’m having — uh, may be having symptoms and… y-yes, yes. T-thank you. That day works. 3:00 P.M. Is fine. Thank you.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Clears throat ] Come in. Hi. Britt: Hey. Is now a good time? Depends. Is one of those folders for me? Yep. Come on in. So, do you know where that necklace came from? Can I help you? Uh, yeah. Cody bell. I’m here for some test results. No problem. Was it blood work? Paternity test. One sec. Thanks. Glad you’re back. Yeah. I hope you got what you needed while you were away. May I? Yeah. Finn, I, um… there was no medical conference. I went to monterey. I wanted to get answers about what’s been going on with me. And I saw my parents. I don’t understand. Why am I here? I’m supposed to be transferred to pentonville. I’m just following orders. A dr. Finn insisted that you come here for something called a phlebotomy treatment.

[ Sighs ] I can do this. I have to do this. Nikolas cannot keep us locked… up in here. Mother, I-I had no idea you were back. Well, aren’t you glad to see me? Yeah, yeah, no, no. Of course I am. Uh… uncle victor, what’s this about charlotte? Oh, uh, I was just informed she’s not on the school grounds. I’m — I’m very worried about her. Oh, no need to worry. I brought her home with me. Did you, now? I had to do it. She missed her family. Well, that is such a relief. But what about valentin? He was on his way to switzerland to visit her. Oh, no, no. He’s home, too. And I’m sure that he’ll be getting in touch with you very soon. Michael does not need to know anything. Oh, I don’t need to know about what?

[ Cellphone ringing ] Are you sending me to voicemail? Sonny… anna’s being transferred to pentonville tonight. We need to act now. What are you two hiding now? Your leukemia is now at stage iv. So, my… my cancer is advancing more rapidly than we thought. I’m so sorry.

[ Clears throat ] Well, I’M… I’m in my second trimester now. The risks to my baby are much lower. I am ready to start chemo at any time. What? What, did I wait too long? Will I die before my baby can be born?

I found you two bothering my family. We were taking a nice walk in the park, michael. Wiley and willow just happened to be there, so what’s the — you should have kept on walking. Oh, my goodness. Instead you tried to maneuver willow into letting nina spend time with wiley. Oh, that’s ridiculous. Sonny would never do that. You have no idea what sonny would do. Look, nina was denied visitation with wiley. I’m well aware of that. We’re not gonna go against your wishes when it comes to wiley, michael.

[ Cellphone beeps ] I gotta take care of this. Oh, is it an assassination or plain old racketeering? Why? You wearing a wire? You know what? You all right? Yeah, no, no. I’m fine. All right. You know, michael, I don’t expect you to be civil to me. But you should show your father more respect. Is my leukemia so advanced that I won’t live to have this child? That is not my prognosis. Remission is still within reach in stage iv. We just have to work more aggressively combining chemo with other treatments. How will this affect my baby? I will work out the course of treatment with the greatest chance of success while minimizing the risk to you both. Thank you. That’s what I hoped you’d say. We’re here for you. Is there anything else you want to know? Any questions? No. No, thanks. Michael will be here soon. Does this mean you’re ready to tell michael you have cancer? I went to monterey to look for what might be causing all of these panic attacks a-and the sleepwalking and losing time, just all of this mess. Okay. “Okay”? That’s it? I lied to you. Right now, I’m glad you’re just still talking to me. Did you already know? I knew something was off. I just wasn’t sure what. You know, I figured if you wanted my help or my input, you would have asked. I didn’t want to shut you out. I get it. Sometimes we need to figure these things out on our own. So…how was seeing your parents? Did — did you get the answers you need? Yes. I now know what happened on those stairs. Well, I am so relieved charlotte’s all right. So am I. I do, however, question the wisdom of taking her out of school so close to exams. Oh, no, no. Exams are weeks away. And besides, the poor thing was so homesick. Well, lucky for her, you were there to come to her rescue. Yes. I’m just like you, victor. I will protect my family with everything I’ve got. Speaking of family, how is lesley? She is recovering very nicely after that mysterious fire destroyed their home. Did they ever find out who caused it? Apparently it was an accident. Or at least it looked an awful lot like one. At any rate, your grandmother and marcello send their love to you. Yeah. Please send them mine. You have a phone, nikolas. You can tell them that yourself. Well, look, I came here to have a conversation with my son, and I’d like to have it privately. Well, actually, I have business to attend to on the mainland. Perhaps — who knows? — I might bump into valentin. My son and I certainly have a lot to catch up on.

[ Door closes ] Have a seat.

[ Door opens ] Can you uncuff my patient, please?

[ Handcuffs click ]

O admit, I didn’t expectsuch a fast turnaround. Thanks. I try. Look, the necklace you found in peter’s safe deposit box, it was pretty high profile back in the ’80s. There weren’t many necklaces around that were worth $35 million. I’m sorry. How much? $35 million. And, of course, mr. Moskovitz, the jeweler who examined the necklace, said that’s just a ballpark figure. Hell of a ballpark. Yeah, if the final price is even close to that, you are gonna be able to retire in style. Only if the necklace is legally mine. Okay, well, that is where things get a little murky. I was not able to find an official bill of sale, but I was able to locate the last known owner. Anyone I know? Leopold taub. What’s taking so long? I mean, I know it’s officially your test, but… no, no, no. Hey, you have a vested interest. Well, we all do. I am so sorry. There’s some huge backlog in the lab. Ah. You know, I-I don’t suppose you could maybe track down those results for me? I’m going a little crazy here not knowing. I’ll go to the lab personally. Thank you. Can we have some privacy, please? I’d like to examine the patient. Mm. Well, doctor… you’re not actually gonna draw my blood, are you? No. Oh, thank god. A real nurse will be by here in a minute to take care of that. I talked finn into ordering a legitimate phlebotomy treatment. That way, the pcpd would be forced to bring you here before taking you to pentonville. That’s brilliant. What’s the plan to get me out of here then? Your dear uncle victor was using charlotte as leverage. She was practically being held prisoner in that boarding school. Kevin and I had to help valentin to break her out. Is charlotte all right? Yes, she’s fine. She’s thrilled to be home, and she is determined not to have anything to do with victor again. I know. Uncle victor has his own agenda. Yes, he does. And he doesn’t care who he uses or destroys to get it done. I mean, look at poor anna. She went up against victor, and now she’s been framed for the possible murder of lucy coe. It’s time to begin chemo as soon as possible. And bone marrow transplants have been very successful in treating leukemia. Survival rates have increased significantly in the past few years alone. But that also depends on what kind of transplant I get. It does. In your case, you’ll need an allogeneic transplant, which requires healthy blood cells from a donor. But will that work if the donor isn’t related to me? A related matched donor usually provides the closest match, but unrelated matched donors work, too. I hope that’s true because to the best of my knowledge, I have no living relatives. Michael, sonny loves you. Why can’t you see that? Sonny abandoned his family. How can I respect a man like that? It’s — it’s just like a broken record. Who are you to be so judgmental? He’s reached out to you time and again, and you just spit in his face. It’s like you live your life to look down on other people. Gee, no wonder willow turned to someone else. Wait. What? What’s wrong now? Well, uh, nina’s trying to drive a wedge between me and willow by, what, claiming that willow’s cheating on me? You’re slipping, nina. If you’re gonna make something up, you’re gonna have to do a hell of a lot better than that. Actually, she’s not making it up, michael. You know why? ‘Cause I saw willow and tj together myself.

I found a description of a necklace that matches the one that you have in your possession in a profile piece on taub and his collection. And according to the article, taub allowed the necklace to be worn on the runway during paris fashion week in 1989. It just hasn’t been seen in public since. Well, I know taub and faison were working together around that time. Any chance taub could have sold it to my father? I couldn’t find any record of the necklace changing hands. And then taub died. Dominique auctioned off his collection, but the necklace wasn’t included in that. So dominique either took it, or faison bought it from taub before he died. Or, more likely, my father stole it.

[ Sighs ] Seen any good movies lately? Uh, me? No. No, no, not really. Oh. Just what, uh, you and i have watched at home. All right, I’m gonna get some coffee. Ok– all right. Want some? Uh, thanks. I’m [Chuckles] Jumpy enough. Hospital coffee when we don’t have to? Fine. I’ll be right back. Talk to him. So… hmm? Ever been to australia? No, not — not yet. It’s a great place. I grew up there. I used to spend my youth roaming the outback from dawn to dusk. Well, I’ve done my fair share of hiking. Um, any good mountains…

[Australian accent] Out in the outback? Some. Nothing like here in the states. But uluru… uluru. It’s a sight to behold. Oh, yeah? I know you know this, but it bears repeating. Your uncle victor can turn on you at any moment. On you. On spencer. Anybody. That’s all the more reason to stay on his good side. Nikolas… I have been playing cassadine politics my entire life. Trust me, I’m handling this. Okay. So, where is ava? Our attempt at reconciliation didn’t work, and we’re moving forward with the divorce. Oh. Oh, I’m so, so sorry, honey. I had really hoped that you’d be able to work it out. So did I. Nikolas, is it possible that your uncle victor had a hand in the breakup of your marriage, too? Nikolas: You want me to choose my life over ava? Well, it isn’t really a choice, is it? How can you be with ava if you’re dead? Uncle victor had nothing to do with it. Are you sure about that? I mean it. No, it was — it was all my fault. How?

[ Sighs ] I… cheated on my wife. First, we need to determine your hla. Human leukocyte antigen. Exactly. Hla is like your blood type, only much more specific. And it’s important to match my donors and my hla so my body won’t reject the healthy blood cells. Right. Your hla will be run against candidates in the match registry, a database with people willing to donate bone marrow. I’m gonna order the testing now. If I go in person, they’ll put a rush on it. Thank you. And, um… thanks for keeping my mind off my misery [Chuckles] By keeping my mind on the medicine. Neat trick, isn’t it?

[ Chuckles ] Tj. I’ll stay with willow. Hang tight. Whew. I thought… at worst, maybe things would progress to stage iii. But I guess I just… skipped over that. Stage iv. I mean, it doesn’t — it doesn’t sound so bad until…

[Voice breaking] You remember there’s no stage V. It’s okay. Willow, whatever you’re feeling, whatever you’re feeling, you can just — just let it out.

[ Crying ] I can’t die, tj. I can’t leave wiley. I can’t leave michael. Easy. You’re not going anywhere. You can’t say that. No one can say that. Oh, god. What’s going to happen to me and my baby? Willow and tj? Come on. I saw them together myself. Willow and tj… and wiley. I mean, we just got done seeing them before you got there. Yeah. Yeah. Something is definitely going on. All right. I was here with willow and wiley when tj ran into us. He is our friend. You know, it’s not really a surprise to me that you two aren’t familiar with — with friendship, but… michael, it’s not the first time that I saw tj with willow. Right. Well, considering that tj’s a doctor and then willow’s a nurse in the same hospital… not just at the hospital — at the hotel. Right. In a room? Mm-hmm. What, did you two walk in on them the same way that my mom walked in on you two in the haunted star?

[ Scoffs ] Look, I know willow. She would not do this to me. Oh, why not? She did it to chase. This is just about revenge. You’re just making up lies. None of us want this to be true, michael. That’s what you overheard your father saying. He didn’t want to tell you anything. Right, so you just let it slip, huh? Open your eyes, sonny. Just see — see nina for who she really is. She enjoys hurting people who are stupid enough to believe her. So I-I’m telling you this for what I-I hope is the last time — nina is poison. I would be very careful about what you’re about to say next. All right. You’ll be the only prisoner on the transport. One of sonny’s guys will have taken over as driver. He’ll drive the van to a rest stop on route 31. There’s a black pickup truck there. Look under the driver’s side floor mat for the ignition key. I’ve left some cash in the glove box. Thank you. Once I’m out, I’ll be able to find evidence to prove that victor has framed me. You’ll be on the run. Not only from the authorities, but from victor and his crew. You gonna be all right? Yeah. You look after charlotte and keep a surreptitious eye on your father. I just hope sonny’s people don’t screw this up somehow. Oh, he’ll come through for me. It’s very interesting, you two working together. Yeah, you can thank felicia for that. You got felicia involved? You say that as if I could have kept her out of it. Listen, I gotta go before the nurse gets here. Yeah. Thank you. I’ll see you on the other side. I’ll see you on the other side.

[ Door closes ] That must have been quite a shock, seeing them. Yeah. Yeah, I… when I went there, I had no intention of speaking with them. I just wanted to go into the house to find a clue as to why this is all happening. Then suddenly they were there. I just — I wanted to run out, but then I realized I can’t go on not knowing. So I told them what I had been remembering about the stairs and struggling with the woman and her falling and… did they know what you were talking about? They did. Yeah. When I was 15, I found my father with another woman. Another doctor. The woman you told to stay away from him? Yes. And this woman… this doctor, we argued. And it just — it happened really fast. And then she fell. I didn’t — I didn’t mean to. No, of course you didn’T. Do you know what happened to this woman? She died. It was my fault.

I’ve been patient with you,michael, up until now. I am done with you talking trash about nina. I don’t — you don’t want to listen? Don’t listen. But you know as well as I do that willow’s been on edge. Yeah, I know. We’ve both been on edge because of nina’s continued harassment. I’m not harassing.

[ Sighs ] I barely see you. And I’m not imagining this, michael. Something is going on with willow and tj. You just need to find out what it is. Just stay away from my family! Oh, my… I-I… I-I am so sorry that I told him. I didn’t mean to. He just kept coming at me. It slipped out. No, I bel– listen. I believe you. He has a way of getting under people’s skin. Thank you for not seeing the worst of me. And you know what I see? I see someone who’s strong, passionate, vulnerable, and that I love very much. Michael’s made a huge mistake turning his back on you. As you can see, mr. Moskovitz did recognize some of the diamonds. Recognized? Yeah, mainly from the color and clarity. But moskovitz said four of the gems come from one of the most famous diamonds in the world — the ice princess. What you’re describing feels a lot like an accident. I mean… you didn’t mean to push this woman, did you? No, no. No. No, you didn’T. And she didn’t die from her injuries, did she? Well, there were complications while she was at the hospital. She died as a result of an infection. But she wouldn’t have been there in the first place had I not confronted her. Okay. Hey, listen. You… you’re not to blame for this. For any of this. I’m so sorry you went through something so horrible and at such a young age. All right? Especially something that would traumatize you so deeply that you’d block it out. That’s the thing. I didn’t block it out. My parents went out of their way to keep me from remembering. I-I’m sorry. What — what — what does that mean? My dad prescribed me sedatives, and my mother, being a psychologist, she coached me into locking away the memory. Why would they do that? I was having nightmares, and I was sleepwalking. Sound familiar? They claim they were afraid I was gonna hurt myself. So instead of helping me through it, they just made me forget. And they were worried that being around my dad would trigger me to remember, so they sent me away. And just stayed away for 25 years? I hesitate to even call them my parents because clearly they don’t know how to raise a child. Oh. Elizabeth, hey. I’m so sorry. I don’t even know — I don’t even know what to say. What they did — they abandoned me. They threw me away, and it was all for nothing because I remembered anyway. I have been terrified for my sanity. I thought that I was a danger to my kids. All because they wanted to keep this a secret. Did everything go okay? So far. As long as sonny keeps up his end. I’m sure he will. Well, then we can wish anna safe travels. Amen to that. Okay, time to go. Nurse: She’s all yours.

well done. I mean, you’ve been through a lot the last few days. You, um… you might want to talk someone maybe, someone like kevin, just to sort all this out. That’s a good idea. Really? ‘Cause I kind of thought I was gonna get a fight. No, not this time. This time, I know I need more help. Thank you for being so supportive. You — you don’t need to thank me. No, I do. I-I do, ’cause you’re an amazing man and you’ve been really patient with me. And I have no right to your kindness. Wh… where is this coming from? Of course you have a right. You’re amazing. I love you. And as for the accident, I understand why you… why you might be feeling guilty, but… you have to know you’re not to blame for this, right? You’re not to blame. And I would never blame you for something that was clearly a tragic accident. Finn… there’s something else you don’t know. Something I’ve been really scared to tell you. Because once you hear it, you’ll never look at me like this again. I can’t bear the thought of wiley growing up without me. And michael.

[ Sobs ] He’s already lost so much. I know. To lose another child… I don’t want to leave them. That is why you are going to fight this. And that is why you’re going to win. But what if it is too late? I thought I could control what was happening to me. That I could tell cancer, “oh, just wait a few weeks.” Like there wouldn’t be any consequences. And now I’m paying the price. What was I thinking? Hey. How could I be so stupid?! Hey. You were thinking about your unborn child. Chemo attacks fast-growing cells. That is pretty much all that is happening during the first trimester — fast-growing cells forming organs and bones and muscles. Okay, you were faced with a terrible choice. And you chose to protect your child. That is not stupidity. That’s love. This the transfer? Yes. I’m officially signing the prisoner over. I’ll take it from here. Ms. Devane… I’m dex. I’ll be your ride this evening. Isn’t it crazy that I might own a piece of that famous diamond? Do you know how it got broken up? No, but I’m — I’m sure I can find out. I wonder if it has something to do with the famous curse. Oh.

[ Laughs ] Well, I-I don’t believe in curses, but… yeah. …Anything’s possible. I’ll be in touch. Okay. Okay. You cheated on ava? I’m afraid so.

[ Sighs ] Look, I-I know how much you love ava, and I know you wouldn’t do anything… to hurt her? See, sometimes I think that’s all we do to each other. So tell me what happened. Well, all I can say is that I made a stupid mistake. One that ava can’t forgive.

[ Scoffs ] Well, you know, ava’s made some pretty big mistakes in her life, too. Maybe just give her a little time. Maybe she’s gonna come around. No, not this time. And I can’t really blame her. Why? What happened? The bottom line is, I didn’t have enough faith in our love. You know? And I — and I thought our marriage was over. I was tempted, and I betrayed everything that ava and I had. Nikolas, do you have feelings for this other woman? God, no! Oh. No. I wish I never had met her. And I swear to you, I’ve learned my lesson. And the woman in question, she will not be causing any more problems. I’m so sorry, honey. So sorry. Yeah, I-I mean, I don’t even get this — like, the glamping thing. You know? The glamorous camping. It… I know what you mean. Why not just stay in a hotel?

[ Elevator bell dings ] Exactly. Right? I mean, ’cause, um, uh… you know, when — when you’re on the ground in a tent, there’s nothing like it. But I-I gotta go for a second. Okay? Excuse me. He’s sure in a hurry. No luck? Actually, I think we’re making progress. What are you doing here? The results of my paternity test are in. Ooh. Yeah, I haven’t seen them yet, but, uh, yeah. ‘Cause apparently the lab’s swamped or something. Oh, how dare they? I know. I know. Terrible. Well, since you’re here, um, sam found some interesting info about that necklace. Yeah? Mm-hmm. She showed it to a jeweler, and he told her it could be worth… are you ready? Oh, yeah.

[ Chuckles ] $35 million.

[ Chuckles ] Cody? Thirty– you said million?

Million. Did sam find out how peter ended up with the necklace? Not yet. But it just so happens you might have more of a claim to that necklace than I do. Let’s get you out of those. Okay. Thanks. Wait. Get in the van. Okay. Hold up. We’re coming with you. I was told there’d only be one prisoner. Interdepartmental cooperation. Here’s the paperwork. Anna! Looks like we’re carpooling. How nice. We’ll have time to catch up.

I really am glad you’re back home. Port charles is not the same without you. Oh, thank you. That means more than you know. I do have my work cut out for me, though. But, uh, I’m more than up to the challenge. As a matter of fact, heaven help the guy who tries to get in my way. My father may have stolen the necklace from taub. So if, in fact, you are leopold’s heir, that necklace belongs to you. Imagine that.

[ Laughs ] Mr. Bell. Oh, please, call me cody. Well, cody, I sweet-talked a few people at the lab and got your results. Thank you kindly. Thank you. I guess this is it. Mm. Well? Mac: Give him a moment. You’re right. Moment’s over. Is mac your father? I knew I would have to do this at some point… tell michael I’m sick. But I thought there would be good news, too. And now he’s going to know that I kept it from him and he might lose me and the baby. Michael loves you. More than enough to understand why you waited, but you are going to need all the help you can get, so let your family and your friends be there for you through this. I’m so scared. I don’t want to die.

[ Sniffles ] This is really hard. Whatever it is, we face it together. All of this happened on the mariana islands. My parents were there with doctors without borders. I-I was posted there back in ’97. I was with reiko. Um… you and your parents were there at the same time? The doctor I argued with, the one who fell down the stairs… …it was reiko. Esme!

[ Breathing heavily ] No. Nikolas is not gonna get away with this. Cassadine. Sonny. Hey. What brings you to G.H., Hmm? No — no apparent gunshot wounds, as I can see. I do hope you haven’t been taken ill. No, no. I’m just here to see a friend of mine, make sure she’s okay. Oh. Your generosity of spirit knows no bounds. Let’s just say I take care of my friends, and, uh, you’d be wise to remember that. It just so happens I am a model inmate. Mm. But I’m sure that doesn’t surprise you. Shocks the hell out of me, to be honest. Well, I don’t know why. You know I strive for excellence in everything I do. And I discovered — and this is gonna help you where you’re going, as well… god, what? When you stop trying to escape, people treat you better. Imagine that. I even get to go to arts and crafts now. That’s great. What are you doing? Are you making syringes out of paper clips and pipe cleaners? Is that what you… no. I am making a pillow shaped like a frog. Isn’t that delightful? Amazing. A transport van from a prison for the criminally insane should be maintained better. But no. Broke down. I know. ‘Cause you’re here. That’s how I can tell. Right? Now I’m gonna be late getting home. You just missed the turn for pentonville. That’s ’cause I’m dropping you off at d’archam first. We’re not supposed to deviate from the route. Well, this is the route we’re taking. No, it isn’T. Turn around. Just let me do my job, will you?

[ Tires screeching ] Hey! Do you mind?! I got a delicate constitution! Hey. I just got out of the hospital. What’s going on?
